EGR Valve and Synthetic/Dino Oil

[jlanger]

Just had a thought, wondering if there is any correlation to running synth and having to replace the EGR. Thought I'd do an "unscientific" study and see what the consensus is.

no, I couldn't see any correlation between synthetic oil and the EGR valve. The egr value deals with air/fuel, not oil.

I think he is getting at the crank case vent that goes from teh valve cover to the intake. obviously their is some crap getting into the intake due to people installing catch cans.

no the hose coming off the side of the valve cover and into the intake and not the pcv valve which is on top of the valve cover.

Edit: See this post.
